HOW CAN WE HELP?

All gifts made on this site are 100 percent tax deductible. An admin fee will not be taken off of U of M crowdfunding donations.

Donor data, such as name, address, email, gift amount, fund, etc. go into the U's donor database, allowing for timely receipting and gift acknowledgement.

Anyone with a love for the U—donor, alumni, staff, students, faculty, patients, sports fans—wishing to raise money for an existing U of M Foundation Fund.

*If you are under the age of 18, the Foundation requires signed parental consent. You can find that form here.

*The U of M crowdfunding site cannot accept any type of event registration payment or fees, due to possible tax implications for receipting the funds. If you're organizing an event and wish to create an online event registration, please contact U Ticketing.

While building your page, you are required to choose the fund you want to raise donations for. If you do not see the fund you wait to raise donations for, contact our team at crowdfnd@umn.edu.

When someone makes a gift to your crowdfunding page, you will be notified via email. When you are logged into your account, you will also see a notification letting you know you have received a donation.
